the station may be closed down the major we have no value (academically) and gradually all aspects associated with the station are being phased out of the he said basically a $50000 and worried that the board of trustees may find a better way to spend that moneT The new transmitter is more adaptable and more powerful than its older counterpart Its output can be increased with the addition of a part and its signal sent farther It will operate at 380 watts significantly more than the 250 watts the old one is currently operating at but meeting the limit set in the original charter issued by the Federal Communications Commission in 1964 The only problem James sees with the new transmitter is its cost more than $8000 for a piece of equipment that can fit underneath an office desk
